I'm assuming the root and hot passes are already in. I don't think I ever weaved 6010 on those size welds in the vertical with 1/8 6010 rod. I just jump from side to side hesitating on the sides long enough to wash in and let the metal settle in the middle by itself. You are only suppose to weld 3X the diameter of the rod technically.

Vertical Welding SMAW

Haha, unfortunately I have to weave 6010 for class... i guess 5/32 rod might fill better, i would weave 7018 if it was up to me. Atm it is open corner 3g 1/2" plate, 1' long. for the test there is two fit ups, one is 6010 root and 7018 hot,fill and cap, and the other is all 6010. must be nick tested at 3,6,9 on both weldments
